Travel: Lookout Point on the Moki Dugway
2024-05-21 - Utah - Photo by Robert Ellis, Robert Ellis Woodworking
Robert writes, "From this elevated view along Highway 261, we are on the gravel section of the highway known as the Moki Dugway. The scenery is spectacular! The gravel road on the left side of the image is the 17-mile loop that goes through Valley of the Gods...which we had just completed upon leaving Monument Valley. To cap off those two adventures, this--Highway 261, and specifically the Moki Dugway--was added to the itinerary as well.
The blacktop road, center of the image, climbs the cliff face we're on by winding upwards through numerous switchbacks, then turning into 3 miles of gravel (Moki Dugway). It returns back to blacktop after ascending to the top. A portion of the gravel switchback is visible near the rock structures (left, bottom third) in the picture. Far off in the distance, top right, is Monument Valley.
The drive is scary!" Comments | Permalink

Roldcat asks, "Does anyone know how to eradicate this stuff? It is popping up all over the property. Literally hundreds of them."

Kentucky Color: Window Dressing

Billy Joe writes, "This Cardinal nest is not just window dressing. The male and female have researched, tested and revisited their assumptions for two weeks. Finally, the female started the nest, one stick or twig at a time. She weaved a treehouse in front of our eyes just 8 inches from our den window. Hopefully, I can win her trust, so she will sit on her nest and not fly when I pass near the window.
The TV is only two feet from her nest. I think she likes Fox News and the NBA playoffs!" Comments | Permalink
